A bipartisantrade panel on Friday blocked the USA government's decision past year to impose almost 300 percent punitive tariffs on airplanes manufactured by Canada's Bombardier in a dispute that has inflamed relations with Ottawa.

"Today's decision is a victory for innovation, competition and the rule of law", Montreal-based Bombardier said in an emailed statement. The C Series is a world beating aircraft made by world class workers.

Bombardier says it will now move to finalize its partnership with Airbus SE. As per Boeing's main line of defense, those prices were impossible without Canada - and specifically, Quebec government subsidies.

Boeing said it would review the trade panel's finding and vowed to protect USA industry from "illegal business practices" at Bombardier.

Aerospace experts were surprised by the size of the tariff, which effectively quadruples the price that airlines like Delta would have to pay when they acquire C Series planes.

"Delta is pleased by the ITC's ruling rejecting Boeing's anticompetitive attempt to deny US airlines and the USA traveling public access to the state-of-the-art 110-seat CS100 aircraft when Boeing offers no viable alternative", Delta said.

The carrier said it was looking forward to adding the plane to its fleet.

The bitter trade dispute between the two aircraft manufacturers escalated.

How to see the 'super blue blood moon'
If you live on the west coast, you're in for a rare treat in the wee hours of January 31: a " blue moon " lunar eclipse . In addition, the full moon (10:47 am Wednesday) is also the second of the month, which is the " Blue Moon ".

Tariffs are not good for U.S. consumers
All that promises to make 2018 a busy, and noisy, year for trade disputes. "We import most of our oil from overseas", he said. But doing so will be a tricky proposition because any dealing with China involves so many economic and geopolitical elements.

Boeing argued before the ITC that the CSeries was first developed and then later saved from complete financial collapse by large subsidies from the governments of Canada and the United Kingdom.

"Boeing's previous attempts to exclude Embraer from the ITC's analysis has resulted in a fundamentally flawed assessment of the market that we believe needs to be addressed", he wrote in an email. Bombardier shares jumped more than 15 percent.

Ray Conner, vice chairman of Boeing, told the commission in May that major US airlines like Delta are among the biggest and most respected airlines in the world, which could spur other carriers to buy Bombardier planes.

"It is supposed to be an independent tribunal that looks at the facts and that's what I would argue they've done", he said. "These campaigns help determine whether a new airplane will thrive or die". Right now, that 300 million-dollar deal between Bombardier and Airbus is still scheduled to close later this year.

Even in the case of an appeal, Boeing will have to work and rethink its strategy to prove the damage and sustain 737-700 and MAX 7 programs. Delta in December also selected AIrbus over Boeing for an order of up to 200 new single-aisle jets.

"Now let Bombardier get on with what it does best; building great planes".

"Yes, we will proceed with the Alabama [final assembly line]".

Airbus CEO Tom Enders said in a statement - "We are happy to see that the ITC concurred with our views".
